I work in an obstetrician and gynaecologist’s office. we have to tell patients on a regular basis that they are binge drinking weekly when they think they are simply consuming a normal amount of alcohol on the weekends.

having more than 3 drinks in a single sitting if you have an estrogen based endocrine system is a binge that is medically significant.

having more than 5 in a sitting is a medically significant binge for someone with a testosterone based endocrine system.

every time you do this, it significantly impacts your risk of getting breast cancer, and damages your liver. it takes time to recover from that liver damage. if you’re having a 3-5 or more drink binge on a weekly basis, you are an alcoholic, medically speaking, and your liver is not recovering.

again: the bar for what binge drinking is, medically, is so much lower than what you think it is.

alcohol is a really toxic substance and not something you should fuck around with.

again: if you have an estrogenized hormone system (common for most women), then 3 drinks is a binge. if you have a testosteronized hormone system (common for most men), then 5 drinks is a binge.

anything above that number, consumed as frequently as weekly or more, and you’re medically a binge drinking alcoholic.

also, if you’re drinking any quantity of alcohol 6 days a week or more, that’s another threshold at which, medically speaking, you meet the definition of alcoholism. your liver needs more days without alcohol in your system than just one a week to recover and be healthy.

I don’t say any of this to shame anyone—to me, alcoholism or substance use disorders aren’t a sign of weakness or moral failing. and most of us genuinely don’t know this stuff.

information is key. you don’t have to stop drinking, but the utter lack of education on alcohol + the normalization of binge drinking in current society leads to many people drinking without any idea of what it’s doing to their bodies.

Because a vodka shot is not the same as (idk, some low alcohol percentage alcohol.)

I am disabled and this month, despite being approved for continuation right before, lost my EBT benefits for "inactivity". I just got intensive dental surgery where I had all of my top pallet removed, and am still in recovery. I just only now got off the pain meds they had me on.

I don't like asking for money at all, especially not from people who are here for my free art, something I've also been struggling to make. But I am really panicked, everything happened at once and I got the notice that my benefits would be ending literal days before my surgery, and their office was closed over the weekend so I was only able to call the day before my extractions. I am not able to call now, due to the pain and the inability to use my mouth correctly. Once healed enough, I will be fighting for my benefits, but I don't expect that for at least a week and a half if not more. And I'm out of food now. My roommate and partial caretaker frequents the food pantry for both of us, but even with both of us on EBT, we struggle to support ourselves. Losing my benefits is going to be a major blow.

I currently only have:
